PS3 keeps exiting game by itself


Recommended Posts

This is the 2nd time in a very short time period that my PS3 has exited out of NHL 08 itself, like I'm in the middle of my dynasty game and bam it exits the game to the XMB! This is REALLY annoying and I don't have my original PS3 box either.

What should I do? :/

Firmware 2.01 right?

I'm going to scour the internet to see if anyone else has had problems like this with NHL.

How recentely did it start doing this?

Yep, newest FW whichever that is. First time ever was probably 2-3 days ago, I don't have any other games so I can't check that, it only happens on a rare occasion, I've played atleast 13-14 games in the last week or two and its only done this once before right now. Not a major problem but I don't want it to become bigger. :(

The first time it happened was the day I played atleast 6-7 games in a row without turning the PS3 off. This time I played it for about half an hour and it happened.

BTW: Does the new TimeShift Multiplayer demo install on your PS3? I get an error every single time.

You need to delete the old TimeShift demo to install the new one. The new one includes single player too.

****, please do not say that. PLEASE.

This is a minor problem, and I think it may have to do with overheating I have my PS3 vertical so the top part is about 2mm from the top of the cabinet, if I move it vertical then the right part is 2mm from the side of the cabinet, therefore heat gets trapped I'm guessing?

Why is PS3 is running so hot, I have 2 360 and a PS3 but PS3 is byfar releasing the hottest air.

Well that not a problem, it could just mean that the PS3 is doing a better job of getting rid of the heat. There have been no major reports of PS3s overheating, but plenty stories about Xbox 360s overheating.

Ok, this is happening more and more often. Atleast 4 times in the past 2 days. I think something is up. I have a loud PS3, but the fan is no longer loud, however the games keep exiting. I think its an overheating issue, because my fan is going fast/loud and the game is exiting?

The PS3 is in an open environment, air accesses it from all 4 sides so I dunno??

Definitely strange.

To me overheating would usually = console lockup, not the console exiting the game, but maybe thats a "safety" feature.

Still under guarantee? I'd get it checked out :yes:

yeah, im thinking that its an overheating issue aswell. So i guess my fan is no longer working the way it should, because before it would fill my room with immense noise but the games would be working, but now its the opposite, the fan is pretty low in side, id say about speed 2 from the startup level.

i think id rather just attempt to return it from the retailer i got it from before dealing with Sony?
